I see this contract as symptomatic of what is going on in America today. Employees are made to feel like they should be fortunate to just have a job. Only management (and shareholders) can enjoy the rewards of a company's success - forget about rewarding those who actually did the work.

The pay increases in this contract barely match the government's dishonest numbers. The increases in the B fund are laughable compared to the savings the company gains by effectively freezing the A plan. Work rule changes will end up being neutral for us at best once the lawyers interpret them in ways other than intended.
